Kunkle Valve 6010FEM01AAM0150 Valve

The Kunkle Valve 6010FEM01AAM0150 is a high-performance ASME Section I steam safety relief valve designed specifically for overpressure protection in steam boilers, generators, and pressure vessels. This bronze safety valve features a 1-inch MNPT inlet and a 1.25-inch FNPT outlet, engineered to handle an exact steam relief capacity of 2583 PPH at a factory-set pressure of 150 PSI. Built with a full nozzle design and bronze/brass trim, this unit is also dual-certified under ASME Section VIII for air and non-hazardous gas applications. The inclusion of a stainless steel spring and metal-to-metal seating ensures reliable boiler overpressure protection even at temperatures up to 406°F. The 6010 series safety valve incorporates dual control rings for precise blowdown adjustment and a grooved piston-type disc to minimize friction during rapid actuation, making it a staple for any veteran HVACR contractor managing industrial steam systems.

• High-Capacity Steam Relief: Rated for 2583 lb/hr, providing critical protection for high-demand steam boiler systems.
• Dual ASME Certification: Meets both ASME Section I (Power Boilers) and Section VIII (Pressure Vessels) for versatile site compliance.
• Durable Bronze Construction: Heavy-duty bronze body and stainless steel spring prevent corrosion in harsh steam environments.
• Simplified Installation: Features a wide hex on the valve nozzle for easy wrenching and secure fitment in tight mechanical rooms.
• Technical Precision: Lapped metal seats and a plain lever assembly allow for manual testing and repeatable, bubble-tight shutoff.

Common Questions

Is the 6010FEM01AAM0150 compatible with air service?
Yes, while primarily optimized for steam, this Kunkle 6010 valve is National Board certified for air and non-hazardous gas service under ASME Section VIII standards.

What is the difference between the 6010FEM01AAM0150 and the 6010FEM01-AM0150?
These part numbers are identical. The extra "A" in the first string is a common manufacturer formatting variation; both refer to the same 1" x 1.25" 150 PSI steam relief valve.

Can this valve be used for liquid applications?
No, the Kunkle 6010 series is a safety valve designed specifically for compressible fluids like steam and air. For liquid relief, a dedicated liquid relief valve should be sourced to avoid chatter and seat damage.
